ATLANTIC 550

Traditional Wood Strip CanoeThe Mystic River is a tidal estuary in southeast Connecticut. Starting in Old Mystic it runs through the pretty seaport town of Mystic, home to the Mystic Seaport Museum, out to Fishers Island Sound.

The Sharpie Cat 42 is a new catamaran design from a regular WoodenBoat contributor, author and marine architect Reuel B. Parker. She is a fast cruising cat with accommodations for eight in four cabins.

Designed as a cat schooner; both sails have big round poles at their leading edges. Considering the performance potential of this hull, this rig is appropriate. The stayless rig is clean and will be cheap to build with solid fir poles.

In the winter of 2012 a very good friend leant me an old copy of Nautical Quarterly. An article about Catboats caught my attention — I was and still am taken by their beautiful lines.I decided to design one with the aim of building it in the summer.

SILVER 45 is a very classical small runabout capable of planing at full charge with a 25 to 40 HP outboard engine.

The Solo Packette is designed for those searching for pack canoe that they can carry to even through the most difficult approaches.

This rugged and able outboard-powered dory combines beauty with practicality and is easy to build.
